I did the Bo Kaap tour and Nizaam was our guide. Really entertaining 90 min tour exploring the colorful Bo Kaap district. Nizaam is well informed and he even went beyond expectations buying us an traditional african treat ( koeksister ). 100% recommendable tour. We did the 1620 afternoon tour and colors still ok. Perhaps morning tour might be with brighter colors.

The tour with Myles was so good! So many interesting stories and really clear explanation! He is the best story teller and takes a lot of time for his guests!

Boo Kap is an amazing colourful area and we learned lots about its history and people with the guide.
I can recommend it to anyone who likes get to know a different side of Cape Town.

Nizaam was an amazing tour guide. We went on the historical tour and the Bo-kaap with him and he had great knowledge and made the experience really fun! We would highly recommend this tour.

Hi is it safe to walk from the v&a waterfront to the meeting point at church square please?
Tracey H

The V&A Waterfront is a very busy area and very safe area. If you are referring to the Church Square in the city centre then I’d say yes it is safe in daylight. Just be alert as you would in an big city. Will you be alone? I did a lot of walking in the tourist areas on my own back in March. I didn’t wear jewellery and kept my bag at the front of my body to deter petty theft.
Where can we park our car before joining tour ? Thanks

We didn't have a car to park and the area is a busy downtown section. Take an uber or cab to drop you off.
Hi, where does the Historic City tour end?

Duplication between 3 tours?
I love free walking tours to learn about the city. I am thinking to do all 3 tours - BoKaap, Historic, Apartheid to freedom. Are the duplications between 3 tours in the route/stories? Thank you!

I can't say I'm afraid because I've done only one tour. However I have visited Bo Kaap independently and I believe that the tour there must be wholly different from the other two. I think you may feel more comfortable in Bo Kaap in a group so that would be a good reason to take the tour there.

You can park in any of the streets close by, or in the Mandela Rhodes parking in Burg Street 😉

All our tours are in English only! But the guides are very friendly & patient and will spend time to explain in case it is needed.
